Chapter Twenty

 

 

Emerson

“It’s a little out of hand, and I’m looking forward to the summer holidays. It better stop.”

“Two more weeks, brother,” Jagger said, smacking me on the shoulder as he scooted past me to his kitchen.

Jagger’s apartment was surprisingly classy and clean. He’d rented a penthouse space after we were hired at the high school, and he spent a good deal of money furnishing it with expensive décor and art.

It was a Friday evening, and we’d decided to order pizza and watch a few movies together since we’d not had a chance to hang out in a while. With exams approaching, we were in dire need of a night off.

As we’d left the school, I’d once again been tailed by a fiercely enamored sixteen-year-old girl who’d made her crush well known over the past few weeks. Enough I’d needed to sit her down and have a chat about the inappropriateness of her actions. The previous week, I’d decided to make a phone call to her father as well.

She was not easily deterred. Stubborn was more like it. As her father explained—and as I’d suspected—it was an obsessive trait she couldn’t necessarily help, and because she struggled to understand and adhere to social cues, it was made worse and would be a harder habit to break. All I could do was continue to remind her of right and wrong and encourage her to go on her way when she kept pace with me or hung around outside of class time. We both hoped the behavior would vanish during the summer months.

“We should go camping, maybe invite the gang. Reece and Terry would go for sure. Spend some time in the wilderness once we get our grades in and you’ll forget all about this little problem.”

I collapsed on his couch and kicked my feet up as he dropped a flyer on my chest, indicating I should choose pizza toppings. The idea of camping appealed to me, except when I realized it would be without Kaiden. He got his job as a camp counselor and would be tied down every week this summer with only weekends available for fun.

Not that bringing him camping with us would amount to anything except problems. I hated the idea of keeping my hands off him. We could likely get away with sharing a tent, and the prospect of fucking him in the woods appealed to me so much it made my dick throb, but the chances of being caught were too high. Tents weren’t soundproof, and Kaiden, I’d learned, was not quiet in bed.

“Camping would be fun.”

“I’ll talk to the guys. You know,” Jagger trailed off with a smile as he landed on the cushioned chair. “We should go to Wasaga Beach. It’s a drive, but last time we went in the summer the beach was loaded with hot singles.” He wiggled his brows.

I shrugged and studied the menu options. “Whatever you guys want.”

“You could at least pretend to be excited. Think about it… a hot, young twink dressed in a skimpy speedo just begging for a ride.”

“Why do you assume I want a twink?”

“Made sense in my head. If not a twink, there are plenty of other hot bodies on the beach.”

“I don’t need anyone. Thanks.”

Jagger laughed. “My God, you’ve become celibate, haven’t you?”

“I’m not celibate, I just don’t share my sex life with you.”

Jagger sat forward. “Oh, really? Is that implying you have a sex life right now? I thought you looked more relaxed lately. Call it a hunch, but your mood did a one-eighty recently, and at first, I thought it was because you fixed that shit with Kai, but you met someone, didn’t you? You bastard. You didn’t tell me. Talk.”

“No. My private life is not your business.”

“But you met someone. I’m right, aren’t I?”

“Pepperoni, mushrooms, and green olives. But if the mushrooms are canned, then forget it.” I passed him back the flyer.

“God, you suck. I can’t even have fun with you.” He sulked and pulled out his phone to order.

“If we camp, we need to be back by the twelfth. Kai and I have to go home for a few days to visit Mom.”

“Shouldn’t be a problem. You know you can bring this guy camping if you want.”

“Who?”

“The secret man you aren’t telling me about.”

“Order.”

Jagger relented with a shake of his head and ordered our food.

Kaiden: My dick needs you. I can’t believe you abandoned me to go camping.

I stifled a chuckle and tilted my phone closer to my body so Reece, sitting next to me by the campfire, wouldn’t see. It was our third day in the wilderness, and Kaiden had been texting me inappropriateness at random.

I scanned the lot around me. Jagger was in a passionate debate with Terry about some political problems, Reece was dazed, staring into the flames as he roasted a sausage, and Vinny and Forest, Reece’s friends who’d joined us, were strumming acoustic guitars and harmonizing some song they’d made up. No one was paying attention, so I tapped a return text to Kaiden.

Me: Are you behaving and doing as I asked?

Before I left on Monday, I’d given Kaiden explicit instructions that he wasn’t to get off while I was gone. One week away would make the return all the more amazing I’d explained. My intention was to draw out his pleasure over the course of an entire night until he couldn’t take it anymore.

Kaiden: Do you know how fucking hard it is?

Me: Your dick or the task I’ve given?

Kaiden: Both!!!

Laughter burst from my chest, and I darted my gaze around the circle. Jagger caught my eye, noted I had my phone out, and smirked before returning to his conversation. As far as he was concerned, I had a secret boyfriend I wasn’t telling him about. It was a nice easy excuse, and not entirely a lie, which provided me cover.

Before shoving my phone in my pocket, I sent one last text.

Me: It will be worth it, trust me. Gonna say goodnight, my travel charger will never last the week at this rate, my phone and it will both be dead before Friday.

We spent our week hiking all the trails at the provincial park, swimming in the lake, and rented canoes for a day on the water. It was relaxing and much needed after a year in the classroom. Every night as I lay in my sleeping bag, I texted Kaiden.

When I got back, we would have two days at home before heading back to South Bell and Mom for Elijah’s birthday. Having been away from it for four years, the whole idea stirred apprehension. It was a stressful time for our mother, and knowing I’d left Kaiden to handle her alone was a regret I didn’t know I’d have.

On Friday morning, we packed down the site and readied for a long trip home. Terry, Reece, and the other two decided to leave right after we’d cleaned up, but Jagger talked me into one last hike along the river trail.

As we plugged along, enjoying the early morning sunshine cutting through the trees, and listening to the waves slosh on the beach in the distance, Jagger got me caught up on our Volleyball league.

“How long are you staying at your Mom’s?”

“Just a few days. Kaiden really had to fight for the time off work. It wasn’t ideal, but they understood when he explained why. So we should be back late Wednesday night.”

Jagger held a low hanging branch out of the way so he could duck beneath it before keeping it back so I could pass too.

“You’ll be back for the first game then next Friday?”

“Yup, but I’ll miss Monday and Wednesday practice, so I understand if you guys need me to sit this one out.”

“Nah, we don’t have a huge team this year. Sign up was poor. We need all the bodies we can get.”

“Then count me in.”

At an overlook, Jagger stopped and peered off into the distance. Georgian Bay spanned for as far as the eye could see. The beach far below us was almost deserted at that early hour. The bulk of campers waited until ten or eleven to wander to the shore, and the weekend traffic hadn’t moved in yet. Humidity made the morning temperature feel hotter than it was, but there was enough shade on our trail we didn’t sweat.

“Think you could talk Kaiden into joining? He and Cooper maybe. They work until five, right? Practice and games are in the evening. We could use some young, active blood.”

“I could ask them.”

Kaiden hadn’t seemed overly enthused when I’d told him about volleyball before, but our circumstances had changed, and I hoped he’d enjoy spending some extra time together doing something fun. Besides, he and Cooper were great friends now. If I could talk Cooper into joining, Kaiden would certainly follow.

“I’m glad you two mended bridges. He was causing you a lot of stress there for a while.”

I scanned the horizon, squinting at where the sun gleamed off the surface of the water before turning and continuing along the path.

“Me too,” I finally said. “Kaiden is the only close family I have, to be honest. Being at odds with him was hard, especially since we were so close growing up.”

“And he’s doing okay?”

“Moving him here was the best decision.” I’d never expected to be on the road we were on. Ever. “He was following the wrong path and the change of scenery has made all the difference. If I could convince him to attend college, we’d be laughing.”

Jagger chuckled as he stepped over a fallen branch. “It takes some of us longer to know what we want.”

“True.”

We continued along the trail until we came out on the road again where our vehicles were parked, packed, and ready for our return trip home.

“Well, you guys enjoy your trip to South Bell, and I’ll see you next Friday for the game.”

We bumped fists and headed our separate ways.

It was just after six when I pulled into the driveway. I’d messaged Kaiden from a rest stop earlier and told him I was nearly home, so I wasn’t surprised to find him outside waiting for me. I was surprised, however, to find him performing tricks on a skateboard in the parking lot. Apparently, Cooper had talked him into boarding, and by the look of it, he wasn’t half bad.

He noticed me right away and flipped the back end of the board, catching the front as it popped up so he could swing it under his arm. His approach was punctuated by a slight swagger and flare of heat behind his dark eyes. Damn, I’d created a monster.

I chuckled as I jumped out of the truck and greeted him with a wide grin.

“Look at you boarding. I bet you’ll be an overnight sensation with your skills on the hills behind you.”

He shrugged, rounded to my side and trapped me against the open door to the cab before I could pull my gear out.

“Piece of cake.” He scanned me up and down, his nose twitching once before he shook his head. “You reek like a campfire.”

“And probably sweat and lake water combined.”

I surveyed the parking lot and the surrounding area when he invaded my personal space and trailed his nose along my neck, sniffing audibly.

“I like it. Manly.”

“Kai, not here.”

The truck provided enough of a barrier that the front of the condos weren’t visible, and the property backed onto fields and nothingness, but it felt unsafe.

“No one is here.”

He caught my lips before I could protest and sucked them, invading my mouth with his tongue in a heated, dick-hardening kiss. I gasped, and he swallowed it away, pressing against me, ravaging my mouth, and using one hand to massage over my erection. The week had been long, and I couldn’t deny the need creeping through my veins. I rocked against his hand once, licking into his mouth and sucking his tongue before my senses returned and consequences surfaced.

It wasn’t safe. Too many risks doing this in the outside world. Maybe my neighbors didn’t know Kaiden was my brother, but all it took was one person.

I pushed him back, breaking the attack and was met with his piercing smile.

“I missed you,” he breathed.

“You’re dangerous. Get the fuck inside. Let me shower and eat something, then, we can continue.”

Kaiden adjusted himself—not so conspicuously—and strutted away, peering once over his shoulder as he went toward the house.

His impatience was that of a child’s, and it humored me to drag out the wait for as long as I could stand it. When I made it in the house, Kaiden had stripped to his underwear and waited, leaning against the wall by the front entrance. The pile of clothes left on the ground made me quirk a brow.

“I’ve waited a fucking week, seriously? You want me to pick up my clothes?”

I glared, a tiny twist of my lips giving away my lack of seriousness. “I have things to do first, don’t leave your clothes laying around.”

“Em—”

A tilt of my head shut him up, and he scooped the clothes off the ground with a growling laugh before disappearing down the hall to his room—the room he’d barely slept in since this whole thing heated up between us.

I dragged my bags to the laundry room and pulled out my campfire-infused clothing from my backpack. Starting a load, I became aware of a presence hovering nearby and delighted in the fact that Kaiden was feeling so impatient. He’d clearly missed me as much as I’d missed him. Taking my time, I unpacked into the washing machine, added a generous helping of soap, and waited for it to fill before closing the lid.

Brushing my hands on my dirty shorts, I eyeballed Kaiden as I shoved past him, making my way toward my bedroom. He was hot on my tail, bounding along behind me like an eager bunny. As I fished around in my dresser for clean clothes, he flopped on my unmade bed and folded his hands behind his head. One leg stretched across the mattress while the other he hiked up, letting his knee flop out and ensuring I got a full view of his obvious erection.

Acting unaffected was more difficult than I planned. With fresh clothes piled in one arm, I took a long minute to eye-fuck his slender frame where he was sprawled out. I couldn’t wait to lay my hands on him.

Catching my ogling, he moved a hand over his covered length and gave himself a solid rub through his underwear. He was looking for a reaction, and he got one. I stopped short before making it into the hallway, forcing a stern frown to my face.

“What did I tell you?”

His hand shifted to his side, and he purposefully squirmed with discomfort. “Come on, I’ve waited five days. Shower already!”

I sauntered into the hallway, checking once over my shoulder to ensure he was listening before heading to the bathroom.

“I swear you are going slow on purpose.”

I chuckled and shut the door to the bathroom at his groan.

Once I’d cleaned up five days of soot and outdoors, I aimed for the kitchen, much to Kaiden’s frustration. Again, tailing me like a lost kitten, he did his best to be noticed. Not finding anything appealing in the cupboards, I tugged open the junk drawer in search of takeout menus.

“No! Oh my God, are you for real? That will take forever. Make a sandwich.”

“That’s not what I’m hungry for.” Without meeting his glare, I flipped through the stack of flyers, grunting at my options until I’d viewed them all, then, I started at the top again.

Kaiden’s impatience reached its plateau. He grabbed the flyers and tossed them in the air where they rained down around us, scattered throughout the kitchen. Then, he guided my hand to his dick, holding it there as he invaded my space.

“I’ve got something you might like, but you aren’t paying attention.”

I gave him a healthy squeeze, rejoicing at the shiver I caused before releasing him. “Go lie on my bed. Take these off.” I snapped the band of his underwear. “And behave.”

He took off like a shot, almost racing down the hall in his eagerness. Ditching my search for food, I locked up and turned off the lights. I had no intention of leaving the bedroom for the rest of the night. But if he thought he was going to get relief any time soon, he was wrong. My fun was just beginning.

“You’re a fucking sadist. Let me come. Oh, my God, I’m begging you.”

Kaiden had lost the ability to contain his thrashing well over an hour ago. Each time I brought my mouth anywhere close to his dick, he thrust toward me and whimpered. With two fingers buried in his ass, I’d been massaging and milking his prostate until he was practically cross-eyed. His dick wept a puddle onto his chest, and small tears spilled from the corners of his eyes from the overwhelming amount of edging I’d been making him go through.

I withdrew my fingers and crawled up his body, sucking red welts into his flesh as I went, marking him where I knew no one would see. His nipples were my favorite place to torture him. They were extremely sensitive when pebbled, and the sounds he elicited when I focused on them were priceless.

Drawing one into my mouth, I gave a bit of suction before using teeth to issue a bit of pain. Kaiden tugged my hair, kicked his heels frantically along the bedsheets, and reached for his dick again. I’d lost count of the number of times I’d swatted that eager hand away.

“Emerson, please. I’ll do anything. Let me come. Ah, fuck. Please.”

I released his nipple and straddled his body, joining our mouths and exploring every inch of his warmth as I sought his tongue. They tangled together, his hips jolting as he found friction rubbing his length against my ass. Uncoordinated and panting, I was becoming convinced Kaiden was losing his mind.

Releasing him, I stared into pleading eyes. His lips were swollen and almost bruised from the abuse of the past hour. His eyes fluttered closed as he arched off the bed on his quest toward completion. I watched, allowing his enjoyment to spread for a while, my own cock just as ready to explode.

“So… close…” he panted with another smooth grind against my crack.

I found the lube beside us and snapped open the lid, drawing his hazy focus. “Is this what you want?” I asked, coating my dick, pumping into my hand as I knelt over him, removing my ass from his reach.

“Yes… fuck me until I come. Emerson, I need it. I beg you.”

I chuckled, stroking myself evenly and gliding the tip over his parted lips. His tongue was warm when he stole a few licks and part of me wanted to plunge into his throat and fuck his mouth until he choked on my release.

Fighting the urge, I moved down his body and hooked his legs over my shoulders. He was so blissed out, his hair disheveled, his cheeks flushed, I could have stared at him all day.

We’d done away with condoms a while ago, and there was nothing more amazing than sinking into Kaiden completely without a barrier, filling his ass with my cum, and claiming him. With all the teasing he’d amassed that evening, I had one goal in mind, something I knew Kaiden had never experienced.

I lined up, swatted his ass cheek when he eagerly pressed forward, trying to skewer himself, and gazed deep into his blown pupils. He gnawed his lip, panted, and waited as patiently as possible.

I didn’t make him suffer any longer. In one long slide, I sank into his warmth on a groan until my balls rested against his ass.

“Fuck, Kaiden,” I whispered, taking a minute as much for myself as for him.

“You have to move. I can’t fucking take it, Em.”

I bent him almost in half, leaning over until I could kiss his lips. Keeping my hips steady was almost impossible. Tasting him, licking his raw mouth and breathing the same air as him, I finally began to move. Slowly at first, I found a smooth, steady rhythm that worked to coat my body in a tingling euphoria. Every glide zapped through my blood and pulsed harder in my dick.

Kaiden moaned and pitched his head back, eyes closed and mouth gaping. When I shifted his hips higher, pegging him exactly as I planned, he shouted explosively, grasping my ass and driving me into him more forcibly each time.

“Right there… Like that…”

Harder, faster, I pistoned my hips, slamming against his prostate with mind-numbing power, losing all sense of time and reality. Kaiden answered each thrust with his own. We moved together, building toward an unstoppable climax I knew would ruin him for the night. He’d held off for so long, begged for hours.

Beads of sweat appeared across his brow, and his fingers at my side twitched, released, and then re-hooked again, digging into my flesh.

“I need to come. Can I touch myself? Oh, God, say yes.”

Hearing him ask, knowing he’d accepted my control over his orgasms sent an added pulse to my dick.

“No,” I growled. “You want to come, you do it hands-free.”

He thrashed his head from side to side, his eyes squeezing closed in frustration as I continued to peg his prostate.

“I can’t… Emerson…”

“You can. You will.”

I hiked his legs higher and drove deeper still, pounding him until the room filled with the sounds of skin slapping, staggered breaths, and hitched moans.

“Oh, God,” Kaiden whimpered. “Oh, God… Em…”

“Come, Kaiden. Do it.”

I watched a tiny bead of sweat roll down his temple as he licked his lips, eyes closed, face a picture of concentration. He wanted it so badly, and I knew he could do it. I’d got him that far and pushed him to succeed.

“Come for me, Kai… Do it. I want to feel your ass squeeze my dick when you do. Then, I’m gonna fill you so full you’ll be dripping for hours. You want that?”

“Yes…” The single word turned into a long moan.

I saw it coming the moment before it hit him. Out of seemingly nowhere, his eyes flew open along with his mouth and his back arched off the bed. He cried out so loud I feared the neighbors would hear. Pulse after pulse of cum shot out of him with enough force a few jets hit his chin and the pillow beside his head. And it wouldn’t stop. I hammered into him, milking him and taking all he had as he yelled until his voice cracked.

The tight grip on my dick and seeing him lose control brought me to the cusp of orgasm as well. When Kaiden’s pleasure ebbed, I dropped down and kissed the mess from his chin before diving into his mouth and licking his tongue and lips, sharing all he’d given me.

Two more thrusts rocked me over, and I filled him, holding my breath at the intensity. The force of it tore through my body and left me trembling. When my senses returned, I flopped on top of Kaiden, still buried and pulsing with residual spasms. He clung to me, face against my neck, hot puffs of air fanning my skin. I didn’t move; I didn’t want to.

What we’d shared was too intense for words, and I needed another minute to come down before it ended. Kaiden didn’t seem eager for us to part either, so we remained together, silently absorbing. Sharing. Being one.

Monday morning at nine, we packed the truck and locked up the house with the journey to South Bell ahead of us. I made a final check inside and returned to the parking lot where I caught Kaiden squinting toward the road. I followed his gaze but didn’t see what he was looking at.

“What’s up? What do you see?”

“That girl. Your high school crush.”

“What?” I spun and scanned the trees by the road, narrowing my eyes as irritation sank into my bones.

“Yeah, I saw her here a few times last week while you were camping.”

“I didn’t know she knew where I lived.”

“Can’t be hard to figure out. This town isn’t huge. People know people.”

Not seeing anyone, I turned back to Kaiden. “Are you sure it was her?”

“Oh yeah. She even approached me one day and asked if you were around.”

I tilted my head to the sky and heaved a sigh. “Fuck. It’s my summer holidays. This was supposed to end.”

“Come on, sexy lover boy. Don’t sweat over it. I know you’re secretly flattered. Anyhow, we gotta get going, God forbid we be late and incur the wrath of Mom.”

“Don’t joke, Kaiden. It’s disturbing.”

“It’s innocent.”

I hopped in the truck beside him, knowing if I was going to be pushed to making phone calls to parents during my summer break that it would have to wait until I was home.

Being a young teacher, I’d been flirted with by my fair share of teenage girls—despite being an openly gay teacher. It was uncomfortable, but only to be expected. Heck, I remembered having a crush on my high school PE teacher as well. But being genuinely stalked by a student, even though I knew she was harmless, was a bit much.

Pushing it away, I started the engine, squeezed Kaiden’s thigh and grinned. “Ready for this?”

“Oh joy, oh joy, bring it on.”

“Sarcastic much?”

“Just drive so we can get this over with.”
